By any chance, do you have a loop selection set on the timeline (a section highlighted in blue or marked with little yellow triangles at the top)? Do you also have the loop repeat button (looks like two curved arrows pointing around at each other) turned on? If so, then clicking the play button (not the play from beginning) will play the selected section repeatedly. Click on the loop repeat button to turn it off and normal playback should resume.

I have the same problem - Running Vegas 3.0 on a Windows 2000 P4 machine with 160U SCSI drives, so performance is not an issue. I can only fix it by a reboot. The region/loop is not selected, and is not the problem. The process table is not showing
any run-away processes, and I have 1GB of memory, with plenty to spare.
I called the SF help line,
and they had no suggestions or knowledge of the problem (claimed that they had not
seen this.) Looks they have a bug or library conflict.

Anybody else seen this? Any suggestions?

I've seen this too. But not until version 3.0c. It's only happed in one project in one place at a point where two audio clips are crossfading. Sometimes VV gets stuck in a loop at this point sometimes not. And I too do not have the play loop button turned on. When it happens I can click past the point and playback continues. I recently adjusted the 2nd audio clip by moving it slightly away from the 1st audio clip and haven't seen it since. I've been fortunate to not have to reboot to get out of this situation.

Config:
WinXP Pro with all updates
VV30c
Dell P4 1.6Ghz
512MB SDRAM

Yup...I work in pro audio/video so I (usually) don't overlook the amatuer mistakes (like highlighting a region and having it in loop mode)!! It's a bug I guess....

SF / VV???

Intersting ron lucas, because when this happens to ME (on BOTH computers) it gets stuck no matter WHERE I start playback from.

Reboot is only fix

I know someone who has this problem with VV3. so far, nothing I've suggested has fixed it. he doesn't have this problem with VV2 on the same box so he's sticking with that for the most part. I don't know if he tried VV 3.0c

I have seen this occur on my laptop several times. it usually resolves itself if I just pause/resume the playback, but on a few occasions it froze the whole system and I had to hard reset. I was using VV3b at the time.

This is a shot in the dark since I'm a video guy, but have you tried changing the "Audio device type" in the Audio page of Preferences and/or changing the playback buffering amount?

I think it has to do with my sound cards (from echo audio). Both the Mia & Darla can screw with the clock...when I play with the sampling rate it can affect it.

Is this issue resolved?

I have something very similar. At first I thought I was stuck in a short loop of about 6-8 frames, but when I let it run I saw that the overall video was progressing along the time line at about 1 frame per second with the looping superimposed on top.

My problem appeared quite suddenly and I have uninstalled and reinstalled VV(3.0c) to no avail. It happens on all my previous videos.
